Pricing volatility-equity options under the modified constant elasticity of variance model

Author

  • Wang, Xingchun

Abstract

This paper studies volatility-equity options such as the target volatility options and the double digital call under the modified constant elasticity of variance model. Adopting the benchmark approach, we derive the analytical pricing formulae of these products and finally perform numerical examples to illustrate option values.
